Industrial application of hot processing beef and pork are presented. Even though the research community has presented many glowing advantages for processing the meat animal immediately after dressing, the commercial processing industry has been slow in adopting this innovative system of processing. The whole concept of hot processing requires such a vast change in the present segmented operati...

Presbyopia, which manifests from loss of accommodative function of the crystalline lens, is a ubiquitous visual disability of the aging eye. The demand for clear, comfortable near vision is increasing with the widespread use of devices such as mobile phones, tablets and computers. It was recently reported that presbyopia is related to difficulties with activities of daily living and resulting s...

Research on sustainable development is significantly influenced by the trade-off between economic, social and environmental performance of businesses. Industry 4.0 a key business priority due to promise exponential increase in productivity, time efficiencies cost reduction. However, has been slow. Notably, human actors remain central 4.0, while responsibility component prerogative for industry,...

Risk tools have matured to the point where they support a variety of risk-informed decision making. While we may expect continued development of such tools to lead to further individual improvements, we believe the greatest gains are to be had from their integration. Our work to date in connecting risk tools has had successes, but also has revealed there to be significant impediments to informa...

Accurate and complete replication of the genome in every cell division is a prerequisite of genomic stability. Thus, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic replication forks are extremely precise and robust molecular machines that have evolved to be up to the task. However, it has recently become clear that the replication fork is more of a hurdler than a runner: it must overcome various obstacles pre...

Before a strategy can be developed, the problem it is supposed to address needs to be formulated. We establish the microfoundations of strategic problem formulation by developing a theory that predicts a core set of impediments to formulation that arise when complex, ill-structured problems are addressed by heterogeneous teams. These impediments fundamentally constrain and narrow problem formul...

The nature of the impediments to trade and investment in the international air transport markets are discussed. The treatment of these impediments in the May 2001 US Plurilateral Agreement are examined, and compared to a benchmark based on the principles for an open club. The conclusion of this comparison is that the US Plurilateral will not lead to a genuine liberalising outcome. r 2003 Elsevi...

Industries must be more innovative than ever before to face rising global competition and stay in the market today. These now aim enhance operational efficiency by using different advanced technology tools techniques of Industry 4.0, satisfying varying customer needs with products highest quality offered at minimal costs. With bottlenecks faced industrial operations, large-scale adoption such s...

Goal To devise a theoretical framework for understanding the impacts of demographic and environmental variation on evolutionary branching.

Botswana remains one of the countries with high prevalence of HIV infection with a population prevalence rate of 17.6 in 2008. In 2009, the Ministry of Health launched male circumcision as an additional strategy to the already existing HIV preventive efforts. The purpose of this paper is to share what the participants of a survey to evaluate a short-term male circumcision communication strategy...
